k,
do you have a credit card now? If so, you would be better served charging something on that every month and paying it off than applying for credit at a furniture store. It's another "ping" on your credit report when a merchant checks your credit in order to open a new account. If you don't have one, you may be better off getting a "major" cc through your bank with a low spending limit, like 500. Then charge a little every month and pay if off monthly - after 6 months, call and have then raise the limit to 1K -- those kinds of things "read" well on a credit report.
Hope you can get moved this weekend! Did your new ll prorate your rent? Getting that fireplace just in time!!!
